Shure Beta 98AD/C Miniature Cardioid Condenser Drum & Instrument Microphone High SPL, Detachable Cable, A75M Drum Mount Included, 20Hz-20kHz, Live Sound & Studio Percussio | BETA 98AD/C

  • Cardioid Polar Pattern: Provides excellent off-axis rejection, focusing sound pickup directly on the instrument while minimizing bleed from other instruments or ambient stage noise
  • High Sound Pressure Level (SPL) Handling: Capable of withstanding extremely high sound pressure levels (typical of drums and percussion) without distortion
  • Wide and Flat Frequency Response: Offers a broad, smooth frequency response (typically 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz) specifically tailored for drums and acoustic instruments
  • A75M Universal Microphone Mount: The "D" in the model name indicates the inclusion of this highly versatile and robust drum mount
  • External Preamplifier Module: The included in-line preamplifier module (typically the RPM626) is necessary to power the condenser capsule and convert its signal to a standard XLR output for connection to a mixer or audio interface.
  • Phantom Power Required: Operates on standard 11-52 V DC phantom power, supplied by a mixer, audio interface, or dedicated phantom power supply.
  • Interchangeable Preamplifier Options: While it comes with the RPM626, the Beta 98A capsule is also compatible with other Shure preamplifiers (e.g., bodypacks for wireless systems), offering system flexibility.
  • Miniature Condenser Design: Its extremely small size allows for unobtrusive placement, even in tight spaces on a drum kit or around other instruments

    Shure Beta 98 Overview

    The Beta 98AD/C Miniature Cardioid Condenser Microphone from Shure is essentially a Shure Beta 98A accessorized with a drum mount and a heavy-duty cable. The package is intended to perfectly mount and position the Beta 98A on any stand and is recommended for a variety of acoustic or amplified instruments including drums, piano, reed, wind, and strings. Its cardioid polar pattern effectively minimizes off-axis feedback and noise, and its tailored frequency response reproduces drums with pristine results. The Beta 98A's high SPL response captures transients without noise and distortion. Its miniature profile is ideal for close positioning, without interfering with the performance.

    Uniform cardioid polar pattern provides maximum gain-before-feedback and rejection of off-axis sound for smooth high-end response and control
    Frequency response tailored for drums and percussion applications with a wide dynamic range for use in high SPL environments
    Precision-engineered design for unobtrusive microphone footprint
